Gladys Berejiklian: The Best Friend Of The ICAC
Wednesday Nov 03, 2021
Wednesday Nov 03, 2021
Contrary to the wailing and gnashing of Australia's Gladys worshiping media - the disgraced ex leader of the state of NSW could end up the best reason ever for a national Independent Commission Against Corruption.

The Blundering Scott Morrison: World‘s Worst Leader
Wednesday Nov 03, 2021
Wednesday Nov 03, 2021
All of Australia's worst ever prime minister, Scott Morrison's titanic failings are on full display at the climate summit in Glasgow - from his historic opposition to action on climate change to his ham fisted attempts to rule the 24 hr news cycle to his appalling lack of judgement or foresight in playing nicely with others. The trip is now dominated by his all out war with French President Macron - arguably now the most powerful person in the world's largest economic block, because making enemies with China just wasn't enough. And guess what? this latest round of bumbling calamity was yet another self inflicted disaster...

Dave Chappelle And Netflix Vs The World
Wednesday Oct 13, 2021
Wednesday Oct 13, 2021
Arguably the world's apex stand up comedian, Dave Chappelle's latest Netflix stand up, The Closer, is the most controversial of the modern age. Why I think it's also the most important. The most fearless, deliberate and confrontational work of his career, less concerned with being funny than staring down the zeitgeist, taking a blow torch to the sound bite universe and running a freight train through cancel culture. Astonishingly, in an era of gun-shy corporations, Netflix knew full well what they were getting into and did it anyway.

My Incredbile Vaccination Story
Wednesday Oct 13, 2021
Wednesday Oct 13, 2021
I am now in possibly the smallest group of people in the country, I have had both vaccinations yet am unvaccinated, have a medical exemption and with the rest of Sydney now free, have another month of lockdown to look forward to. How my genius level intellect got me to this place. Also the farcical Australian Freedom Day copies the UK in name only and why I think more lockdowns are on the horizon for NSW.

AUKUS - Scott Morrison Vs France & China
Wednesday Oct 13, 2021
Wednesday Oct 13, 2021
Not content with randomly destroying our relationship with our biggest trading partner and the world's second most powerful nation, China, just to look good for team Trump, Australian Prime Minister and all round crazy dude, Scott Morrison has decided to throw Australia under a bus with France and potentially Europe too! Just to look good in the news for a week, he behaved like all bad boyfriends and broke up with the French via text, only he is the leader of a country. And as with all this announcement kings announcements, the fine print reveals we will likely now get nothing at all for it. Genius.

Pray For Gladys
Wednesday Oct 13, 2021
Wednesday Oct 13, 2021
Please spare some space in your heart to pray for the saintly Gladys Berejiklian, queen of our hearts, cut down so brutally from her rightful throne as leader of New South Wales by those pesky corruption scandals. Vale oh golden saviour.

Come On Australia! We‘re All In This Together!
Wednesday Sep 29, 2021
Wednesday Sep 29, 2021
No we're not! COVID is giving our media, politicians and public some false sense that we are one country united - far from it. We are two countries that hate each other and where one side lives to stick it to the other, every way they can.

Wednesday Sep 29, 2021
With the streets of the UK now resembling an episode of The Waking Dead, as the zombiefied masses literally fight over petrol, shelves are bare, fast food joints have no food and a million workers are missing, if only there was some kind of warning that this would happen...

China Vs Evergrande
Wednesday Sep 29, 2021
Wednesday Sep 29, 2021
What should China do with a problem like Evergrande, their very own personal Global Financial Crisis collapsing property giant? They should do the opposite of what the West did and send a message to the World.

Clive Palmer And The United Australia Party

Thursday Sep 09, 2021
Now surpassing One Nation as Australia's most awful band of political charlatans, the UAP, despite ironically sending me an unsolicited text message in 2019, to tell me they would ban the practice, are in 2021 - sending the country unsolicited text messages. And from one of the country's most esteemed purveyors of self promotion and conspiracy theories - Craig Kelly. A look at how stupid someone would have to be, to believe this billionaire mining magnet friend of Scott Morrison is their anti-government Che Guevara.
